Skirts in combat

...Are actually pretty realistic.

Seeing as cultures all over the globe fielded armies wearing short skirts for thousands of years...

Even after the invention of firearms...

They have been used by professional soldiers from the time of spears and shields...

To early modern rifles...

The only unrealistic thing about skirts in STO is that men can't wear them.

    Yes, it is WAY past time they added the "skant" from TNG's first season.

    RWBY is cool.

    Back on track, I do believe skant uniforms are a great step in making cool uniforms.

    Skants, kilts, add them!

    Yes, it would be fair to add those. Trek is an universe free of silly "gender standards" and expectations... plus more choices = better! 100% support, have skant, skirts.. whatever for both male and female characters.

    I'm all for the addition of Skants in STO. I just want to hear the cries of dismay from the Federation all the way from Qo'nos and the Delta Quadrant :cool:

    I'm just wanting to put male boffs in proper tartan kilts.

    Or would that be too much?

    You're only allowed to have skirts in combat if they're this. :P

    Dumbest. Thing. Ever.

    (Which is why no one ever saw it again after the designer was shot for it and Gene Roddenberry stopped hallucinating - aka ALL of TNG Season One. :P)

    I'm going to agree with that, Of all the ridiculous looking clothing worn in the show, from the most obvious Fan service necklines and tight fits, to the down right bizzare beyond belief, this is one of the most awful looking items of clothing
